He could still cook without making a bad trade. Unless you'd like to convince me that there's no team in the league that wouldn't have taken Walman without even needing to be coaxed with a second-round pick. Even if Y gets a great free agent signing, attaching a second-round pick to get rid of a very serviceable player on a decent contract didn't have to happen. There's only one thing that would make this make any sort of sense: if they make a trade and the "future considerations" include San Jose being a third team and retaining salary.

It’s not hard to understand. It’s a straight up cap dump.

Stevie Y must have made a Jeff Finger deal here, where he thought he was dumping Justin Holl for 2nd rounder but mistakenly wrote down Walmans name

As a wings fan, I think Stevie Y is cooking something up

Maybe the Red Wings are going to get future considerations Givani Smith and Filip Zadina?😅

that's like when I play NHL franchise mode, and I pick my side of the trade, and then I accidently drop the controllel and the impact pushes some buttons and accepts the trade without filling the other side with assets. is Yzerman playing the real NHL on a gamepad? did he drop it?

Love Stevie Y. Something big is coming 🎉🎉🎉

There’s just no spot for Walman to play next season, too many LD. Detroit basically traded a 2nd + Walman for a 3rd. Expect more moves from Yzerman to dump salaries.

I'm glad you are feeling better. You look healthy

Future Considerations can also mean an AHL contract. The Canucks and Rangers did a trade like this a couple of years ago.

I have no idea why a pick had to be tied to Walman if you had to move him

6:15 Another possibility is perhaps he wasn't a fan of the "griddy" 😂.

Mr. Dressup was my hero growing up! Loved Casey and Finnigan.

Steve...do you block off time in the day where you're downstairs waiting for stuff or do you parent, see a trade/signing, etc drop and beeline it out from feeding Isla to roll into the videos? Genuinely curious.

GREAT video Steve

Us wings fans do trust in the Yzerplan, but we also loved Walman

Steve gotta be cooking. I can't think of any other reason to dump cap space like that

Raymond, Veleno, & Seider are all up, and are all going to command a lot. Raymond & Seider north 8 IMO. Yzerman wants as much flexibly as possible coming into this off season. I also think the conversation started with a Holl or a Chiarot being sent to the Sharks for cap relief but the compensation was too much for Yzerman to consider and it got negotiated down to Walman instead.

As a Wings fan, we've been patient for years now. Some of us feel we needed the blue line help to get us into the playoffs and we did nothing. Trading arguably our 2nd best defenseman is confusing AF. We need goals, but we also need to let in less goals more importantly. In a week we'll probably understand, but we lack patience now

Yzerman is cooking

From a San Jose Sharks fan perspective, the Sharks wanted an offensive defensemen to replace Calen Addison, who didn't quite work out in his role from an individual perspective. Walman gives them that albeit with that low assist total. The Sharks are up-in-the-air on whether Shakir Mukhamadulin, the defensemen they acquired from New Jersey in the deal with Timo Meier, will actually make the roster on opening night. Mukhamadulin, 22, had a cup of coffee in January, and this deal hedges their bets a little. The Sharks defensive core is probably their weakest spot going into 2024-25 and as Steve said, this team has to spend money. Overall, I think this is a low risk, medium reward move by Mike Grier who has made a couple of them the last few days. The Sharks also recently acquired F Ty Dellandrea from Dallas (traded for a 4th) and F Egor Afanasyev from Nashville (traded for F Ozzy Wiesblatt) for basically nothing as well. In the summer, expect San Jose to keep going after wingers and defensemen. There's a lot of roster questions with this team going into next season, so expect more trades and more signings from this team. The Sharks don't even know if Logan Couture will ever be cleared to play again, which might mean $29.33m in cap space goes up to $37.34m. A lot of the roster spot favorites are unproven players, young players, and/or RFAs. The only guys with a spot secured next season are Celebrini, Eklund, Granlund, Zetterlund, Sturm, Ferraro, Walman, Vlasic (because of his NMC, if he didn't have it, he'd be an AHLer). Everything else is up in the air, and damn, it's exciting for me.

@gabrielseaborn257

No idea.what SY is cooking, but inwas shocked to see walman go, i could be wrong but i thought holl and petry have no trade clauses, i just hope these future considerations pay off. Does anyone have an example of future considerations paying off?

Yzerman should have given up more and shipped away Holl instead.

We know they have to sign both Seider and Raymond. They will most likely come in at a little above 8.5 x 8. If they also sign Gostisbehere to a 6 x 4 (which it sounds like is the asking price) they've spend 23 mil. I wonder if they looking very hard at Necas or Zegras and making room for. Also the red wings have atleast two nhl ready rookie defencemen in Simon Edvinsson and Albert Johansson, they have to make room for them.

Long term (in most cases) benifit the teams, so the price is higher. Also you can't just get a McKinnon, McDavid or a Matthews. Otherwise every teams would pay that.

The free particle is Utah. Not all the 'Yotes players may be on board, some may not like Salt Lake City much, and there are plenty of teams hedging bets on that. Not pointing to any situations in particular; it just seems the math all around the league has been funny, as if guided by invisible gravitational forces, and I'm guessing that's one of them. Yzerman tends to get things really right or really wrong when cooking. Either way, he thinks macro.

I don’t like this deal at all as a Wings fan, but that’s mostly because I love Wally. A real heart and soul guy who was a fan fave. I think this wasn’t Holl or Petry because we have way less depth on the right side and because Holl might get waived.

Wallman is an asset ...in fact, many defenseman would be signed, at a good figure, as free agents..LoL

Thanks for the video. As soon as i saw this trade i started thinking of the possibilities. This has to be Yzerman making space for an upcoming move. Jake Walman was a player that fans liked in Detroit. He seems like a good Locker Room guy and has a nice offensive side. Solid Defensemen who automatically is in San Jose's top 4. As far as how Wings fans feel about Yzerman; He is a beloved member of Detroit Sports Royalty and he would have to screw up royally for fans to turn on him. I think he's done a good job with the team, not perfect, but good. The team has seen steady improvement every year since he got here. The team could be better, but when you look at the mess that Holland left, Yzerman had to undue a lot of bad "GM-ing".

Steve has done a great job with Tampa and has been doing good things in Detroit wait and see I bet he’s got something up his sleeve😊

Interesting!🐣

Wings fan here... This story is still in progress, so I'm going to have to see what transpires from here on out.

As a wings and walman fan I sure Stevie does some big with this trade

Looks like he’s going for Stamkos. Let’s face it. He built that Lightning team.

Either there is another shoe to drop here in the form of a player to be signed to a new deal after July 1st (I don't know who this player is) going back to the Red Wings, there's something about Walman we don't know yet, or Yzerman is no longer a good GM.

I cracked up at "what the sharks put on the ice was disrespectful"

What a mystery. Perhaps Steve will find it in the Tickle Trunk.

With Steve talking about all the streams his going to be doing especially one afternoon 5pm deadline on free agency, imagine if it peters out to nothing like the mid season trade deadline this season gone

Great trade for the Sharks! It helps that we suck now and have the Cap space to take this contract on!

Stevie sending a message for that collapse against the sharks last winter 😂

Saw a Gibson trade and got excited… not quite

I doubt he traded Jake because of the Griddy. He only does the Griddy when he scores an overtime goal, which happens two or three times a year. Everybody got a kick out of it and an OT goal is something to celebrate.

No love for Mike Grier snagging a 2nd round pick in addition to a player we would have acquired outright with no sweetener?

Just a thought... whens the last time the leafs and wings made a trade?

Yzerman didn't like Walman doing the gritty, so he was traded 😂

He's trying to convince Parise to come back so they can sign both him and Suter like they wanted to do 25 years ago

Like, okay, when he came in, it was the usual, briding contracts, signing guys like Filppula... eh, okay, but his drafting has not been anything special, nothing like in Tampa, Detroit had overpaid defence, so he got rid of those, and got more defencemen that he overpaid and the fans want out (I mean, Holl, seriously, I saw Steve lose his mind 50 times over him, and Yzerman paid him, fff-), and now it's the questionable moves like getting NOTHING for Walman, and actually giving up something to do it.

Sad 2 c him go very solid blue liner..not sure how the cap is working as far as a dump this year but hoping charoit moll and petry r all gone

Because Steve Yzerman is a Wing legend, Wings fans fall all over themselves defending him. If his name were "Joe Smith" he would have been ridden out of town 2 years ago.

I understand moving Walman. I think us Wings fans overvalue him a little bit. Only thing I don’t get is having to attach the 2nd in order to move him. I’m gonna try to not react too much until after the draft and free agency period.

This question is not being asked enough. WHY did Stevie trade him along with a second round asset, when he could have simply waived Jake, and he would’ve been picked up in about five minutes…while keeping the asset????? Help me….

Mo= 8m+, Raymond=8m+, So that leaves 16m+ on the table. Kane + Stamkos signing would rock the NHL. Will that happen? probably not, but what if it does? lol
